The present disclosure is intended to prevent the above problem, and the dummy media generating unit 232 may be configured to activate a UI that can receive input whether to generate a dummy media with respect to media in which personalized information is recorded. .

The dummy media generator 232 may check whether personalized information is included in the edited media object. In relation to the confirmation, for example, a moving picture or image, the confirmation may be whether an object similar to an object existing in another project or other media stored in the memory 130 or a cloud server used by the user is included. Here, the object may be, for example, a human face, an animal or plant, or a peculiar object, and the identification may be performed by an image comparison method using feature points between the objects. As another example, the confirmation may be whether the entity existing in the individual media of the project to be shared includes a person's face, animals and plants that the person possesses or exists in the vicinity, unusual objects, and the like.

The dummy media generator 232 may configure the corresponding media as dummy media in consideration of the dummy media information. The dummy media does not contain the original media, includes only a dummy type of media format, and may be composed of media objects of the same type as the original media. Also, when the dummy media is used, the dummy media generator 232 may process the dummy media information and the dummy media to be included in the image project.

Meanwhile, the dummy media processing unit 234 may process to share the dummy media and the image project including the dummy media information according to a user request or a request according to a setting of a video editing application. In this case, the shared image project may be processed to include project configuration information excluding the original media replaced with the dummy image.

In addition, the dummy media processing unit 234 can check the dummy media information included in the video project when the video project of another user is shared and obtained through the video editing application, and the media included in the video project based on the dummy media information Alternative media can provide a menu or UI that can be modified.

For example, the dummy media processing unit 234 may check whether dummy media information is included in the image project. When the dummy media information is included, the dummy media processing unit 234 configures a UI for selecting an alternative media that can replace the dummy media (referred to as an alternative media selection UI or a dummy media replacement UI, hereinafter described in combination). can be provided. The alternative media selection UI may be configured to provide a list of media that can be used as alternative media, and to allow the user to select at least one alternative media from the provided list. The media list may be configured by listing media stored in the shared user's electronic device 101 or a cloud server.

As another example, the dummy media processing unit 234 may configure the list of media based on the type of media included in the dummy media information, the resolution of the media, the time information of the media, and the like. For example, the dummy media processing unit 234 may configure a list of media by extracting only media having the same media type, media resolution, media time information, and the like, consistent with the dummy media information. The extracted media is stored in the shared user's electronic device 101, etc., and may be media confirmed to be suitable.

As another example, the dummy media processing unit 234 may configure a list of alternative media by extracting the same or similar type of replacement media based on the type of the dummy medium. As another example, the dummy media processing unit 234 may configure a list of media by extracting alternative media set to the same or within a predetermined time range based on time information of the dummy media.

If the media selected by the shared user or closely meeting the above criteria does not match at least one of the pieces of information constituting the dummy media information, the dummy media processing unit 234 may control and configure the alternative media. have.

For example, the type of media set in the dummy media and the type of the alternative media are identical to the moving picture, but the time information of the media may not be the same. Specifically, when the first time information of the media set in the dummy media is greater than the second time information set in the alternative media, the dummy media processing unit 234 may control the output of the alternative media. In this case, the dummy media processing unit 234 may control, for example, to output the last scene of the alternative media until the final time. As another example, the dummy media processing unit 234 may control the replacement media to be repeatedly output until the final time.

As another example, when the first time information of the media set in the dummy media is smaller than the second time information set in the alternative media, the dummy media processing unit 234 may cut the alternative media with reference to the first time information. In this case, the dummy media processing unit 234 may cut the front end or the rear end of the alternative media according to a user's selection or an application setting. As another example, the dummy media processing unit 234 generates the replacement media having the first time information by cutting the front end and the rear end of the replacement media based on the first time information according to the user's selection or the setting of the application. Alternatively, you can edit with these alternative media.

Meanwhile, the type of media set in the dummy media may not be the same as the type of the alternative media. In this case, the dummy media processing unit 234 may control and configure the alternative media. For example, when the type of the dummy media is an image and the type of the alternative media is a video, the dummy media processing unit 234 extracts the first or last scene of the alternative media according to the user's request or the setting of the application and configures it as the alternative media. can do. As another example, the dummy media processing unit 234 may configure alternative media by selectively extracting one of a plurality of scenes recorded in the alternative media according to a user's request or an application setting. For the user's selection, the dummy media processing unit 234 may configure and provide a UI for selecting a scene included in the alternative media.

Meanwhile, the resolution of the dummy media and the resolution of the alternative media may not be the same. In this case, the dummy media processing unit 234 may configure the alternative media by controlling the resolution. For example, when the first resolution of the dummy media is larger than the second resolution of the replacement media, the dummy media processing unit 234 upsamples the replacement media so that the second resolution of the replacement media matches the first resolution of the dummy media. can be configured. On the other hand, when the first resolution of the dummy media is smaller than the second resolution of the replacement media, the dummy media processing unit 234 down-samples the replacement media so that the second resolution of the replacement media matches the first resolution of the dummy media. can be configured.

As another example in which the resolution of the dummy and the alternative media is not the same, the dummy media processing unit 234 maintains the resolution of the alternative media without transcoding to change the resolution of the alternative media by the user's request or the setting of the application, You can control to adjust the horizontal and vertical sizes of the alternate image. For example, if at least one of the horizontal and vertical lengths of the dummy media is smaller than the replacement media, the dummy media processing unit 234 does not change the resolution of the replacement media, and selects a portion of the spatial region having a large length in the replacement media. It can be cut to form alternative media. For the user's selection, the dummy media processing unit 234 may provide a UI through which the user can select a space area to be maintained in the alternative media.

As another example, the dummy media processing unit 234 provides an additional window displaying the spatial region exceeding the size of the dummy media so that a spatial region having a large length can be viewed in the alternate media without changing the resolution of the alternate media. You may.

As another example, when at least one of the horizontal and vertical lengths of the dummy media is greater than the replacement media, the dummy media processing unit 234 may maintain the resolution of the original media related to the replacement media by a user's request or an application setting, The replacement media may be configured by enlarging the short spatial area of the original media to match the size of the dummy media.

Without being limited to the description of the present disclosure, embodiments of the present disclosure may be used in various situations, such as media editing in progress, before a share request after editing is completed, or after a video project is saved without a share request, and a user's share request is received. Applicable. The method performed during media editing or before a sharing request may be performed, for example, using a user interface separately provided by the application, for example, the editing UI display unit 201 and/or the dummy media generation unit 232 . The user interface may be, for example, a dummy media creation UI provided to a predetermined area of a screen on which the image display window 401 and the clip display window 404 are displayed.

The sharing is processed by, for example, exchanging various information including a video project with social media such as YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, or a sharing service operated by an editing application and a sharing space linked to various social services. can be

First, the user may edit the original media selected by the user and request sharing through the image display window 401, the clip display window 404, and various menus provided by the video editing application (S205).

Various examples of the editing are described with reference to FIGS. 3 to 5E , the selected media is exemplified as illustrated in FIG. 8A , and the media is a moving picture as an example. In FIG. 8A , the media selected by the user is exemplified by reference numeral 702 , and the effect element added by the user to the media through the application is exemplified by reference numeral 704 . The sharing request may be initiated through a UI related to the sharing request provided by the application.

Next, the dummy media generating unit 232 may receive and confirm the user's selection of at least one individual media from the edited media ( S210 ).

Specifically, the dummy media generation unit 232 may provide the dummy media generation UI to the user through the editing UI display unit 210 in response to the sharing request. The dummy media creation UI may include a menu or UI for inquiring whether to generate the dummy media and controlling the creation of the dummy media.

When the user responds with creation to the inquiry, the dummy media generation unit 232 may detect media included in the image project and present media configurable as dummy media to the user.

The list of presented media may be all media included in the video project or media selected by setting. In the case of the selected media, the dummy media generating unit 232 may be configured to activate, for example, a UI for receiving an input of whether to generate the dummy media with respect to the original media having a capacity greater than a threshold value. The dummy media generating unit 232 may be configured to activate a UI for receiving an input of whether to generate the dummy media with respect to media in which personalized information is recorded.

The dummy media generator 232 may receive and check at least one individual media selected by the user from among the presented media. In the example of FIG. 8A , the user may select the original media 702 as the individual media. As another example, the dummy media generating unit 232 may receive and confirm all or part of individual media selected by the setting of the application.

Next, the dummy media generating unit 232 may generate dummy media information based on the identified individual media ( S215 ).

Specifically, the dummy media generation unit 232 may check individual media information from individual media. In the example of FIG. 8A , the dummy media generation unit 232 may check individual media information related to the individual media 702 . The individual media information may be configuration information of the original media related to the selected individual media. The individual media information may include an identifier for identifying each media, a media type, media resolution, media time information, and the like. In the example of FIG. 8A , the information of the individual media 702 may be a unique identifier, video, resolution, time information, and the like.

The dummy media information may be configured to include type, resolution, time information, etc. with reference to the above-described individual media information. In the example of FIG. 8A , dummy media information may be constructed with reference to the above information of individual media 702 . The dummy media generating unit 232 may be generated for all media included in the image project or for selected media from among at least one media according to a user selection or setting of the application.

Next, the dummy media generator 232 may replace the identified individual media with a predetermined dummy media ( S220 ).

The dummy media does not contain the original media, includes only a dummy type of media format, and may be composed of media objects of the same type as the original media. The dummy media may be a media object prepared in advance by the application. As another example, the application may present a list of dummy media to the user, and the original media may be replaced with the dummy media selected by the user. As illustrated in FIG. 8B , the individual media 702 selected by the user may be replaced with the dummy media 706 , and the effect element 704 provided by the user during the editing process may be maintained.

In addition, the dummy media generator 232 may process the dummy media information and the dummy media to be included in the image project. In this case, the image project may be processed to include project configuration information excluding the original media replaced with the dummy image. In the example of FIG. 8B , the imaging project may include dummy media 706 , its dummy media information, and information related to various editing elements that are not treated as dummy media, such as effect elements 704 .

Subsequently, the dummy media processing unit 234 may process external transmission to share the dummy media and the image project including the dummy media information according to the user's final sharing processing request ( S225 ).

Hereinafter, with reference to FIGS. 9 to 10 , in the content sharing method, a process of replacing the dummy media including the shared content with another user's replacement media will be described.

9 is a flowchart of a content sharing method using dummy media according to another embodiment of the present disclosure. FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating replacement of an alternative medium according to the process of FIG. 9 .

The present disclosure may be merged and performed in steps S125 to S145 of FIG. 3 . In the present disclosure, for convenience of description, an example in which the dummy media is replaced with an alternative media selected by the user will be mainly described. However, the embodiment according to the present disclosure may also be applied to an example of replacing the replacement media automatically selected by the setting of the application with the dummy media.

First, a user may obtain a video project including content edited by another user through a video editing application through sharing (S305).

Next, the dummy media processing unit 234 may check whether the dummy media recorded in the image project exists ( S310 ).

If the dummy media exists, the dummy media processing unit 234 may extract dummy media information from the image project. In addition, the dummy media processing unit 234 may provide the user with a menu or a replacement UI including a UI for modifying the media recorded in the image project as an alternative media based on the dummy media information. A user-visible dummy media is illustrated as dummy media 706 in FIG. 8B .

Subsequently, the dummy media processing unit 234 may provide a list of media that can be used as the replacement media through the replacement UI for selecting the replacement media that can replace the dummy media, and check the replacement media selected by the user ( S315)

The media list does not refer to dummy media information, and may list all media owned by the user.

As another example, the dummy media processing unit 234 may configure the list of media based on the type of media included in the dummy media information, the resolution of the media, the time information of the media, and the like. For example, the dummy media processing unit 234 may configure a list of media by extracting only media having the same media type, media resolution, media time information, and the like, consistent with the dummy media information.

Next, the dummy media processing unit 234 may compare the information on the alternative media selected by the user with the dummy media information ( S320 ).

Specifically, the type, resolution, and time information of the dummy media may be compared with the type, resolution, and time information of the alternative media.

Next, the dummy media processing unit 234 may determine a control processing method for replacing the dummy media with the replacement media according to the comparison result, and may process the replacement control according to the method ( S325 ).

For example, when the information on the alternative media selected by the user does not match at least one of the pieces of information constituting the dummy media information, the dummy media processing unit 234 may control and configure the alternative media. Inconsistency may be, for example, a case in which at least one of a type, resolution, and horizontal/vertical length of the substitute and dummy media is different, and a case in which time information of the substitute media is shorter or longer than that of the dummy media. The dummy media processing unit 234 determines a control processing method suitable for the above-described case, and the method may be, for example, a control processing for each of the above-described cases described with reference to FIG. 6 .

As illustrated in FIG. 10 , according to the determined control processing scheme, the dummy media 708 may be replaced with a replacement media 708 selected by the user. As can be seen in the example of FIG. 10 , a user can use another user's effect element 704 as it is, adding a desired editing element to the alternative media 708 . In addition, the user may create a layered media 710 (eg, video, image, etc.) superimposed on the alternative media 708 through additional editing.
